Annually, alongside core psychology, you'll study specialised counselling modules, mastering approaches like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Psychodynamic, and Person-Centred therapies through theoretical concepts and practical skills such as empathetic listening and non-judgmental questioning. Skills are developed via triad role-plays, with 90 hours of practice plus personal/professional development and self-care training.
